The armed servants took the lead in disembarking.
Many of the Jingzhou warriors waiting on the pier were wade from the sea of ​​corpses and blood, and they all had the eyesight. They immediately realized that these people were not just tall and powerful soldiers. They all looked like soldiers. They were all covered in wind and frost and dust, and they were calm and resolute in their actions, with a strong aura, and they were wearing brilliant armor and holding various excellent weapons... They must be the elite Jiangdong who could fight tough battles and dare to fight against the powerful enemy.
What they didn't know was that Sun Quan was really dedicated to his sister. The attendants who followed Mrs. Sun to Jingzhou were drawn from the Wujun fellow towns who served the Sun family in Jiangdong for many years. Some of the old soldiers even participated in the Sour Date Alliance under the command of Jiangdong Tigers and fought for a long time.
Each of these 100 elite soldiers can fight ten; they should be the backbone of thousands and tens of thousands of troops, and should become the force to decide the outcome in a war, but now they have come to Jingnan just to protect Mrs. Sun's safety.
When the armed servants got off the ship, all the soldiers in Jingzhou showed a vigilant look. When the servants lined up in a tight queue in front of the ship, the civil servants who were not very sensitive were infected by the heavy atmosphere and stopped talking and laughing one after another. Many people showed dissatisfaction. The scene, which was originally relaxed and pleasant, suddenly became restless.
Unlike the military, civil servants did not feel the danger. But when they saw Mrs. Sun's maids running on the boat to issue orders, they immediately arrived at the entire process of armed servants landing, all of whom were angry because of Mrs. Sun's rude actions.
What is the occasion now? It is the occasion where General Zuo, the governor of Jingzhou, and the civil and military officials and officials of Yicheng Tinghou, welcome the return of the lord! In this occasion, Mrs. Sun's identity is only the bride of Duke Xuande. She should face her husband's subordinates as the new mistress of Jingzhou's civil and military, not as the sister of Wuhou!
But at the moment, Mrs. Sun used the most abrupt means to announce to everyone: I am the sister of Wu Hou, and I am here, and Wu Hou's troops are also here. These soldiers who took the lead in getting off the ship and posed for escorts in line are tools used by Mrs. Sun to overwhelm the entire venue.
How could the soldiers under the command of Wu Hou appear in this occasion? What qualifications do they have to act like this in front of the civil and military officials of Jingzhou? What will happen to these guards when Duke Xuande gets off the ship? If this is still the case... are they planning to isolate the relationship between the civil and military officials of Jingzhou and Duke Xuande?
Duke Xuande was an ally of Wu Hou, not a subordinate. The bride instructed her subordinates to act recklessly, and was simply arrogant and domineering, almost humiliating Duke Xuande himself and the officials from the Zuo General's Mansion!
As the entourages set up a serious queue on the dock and raised their majestic halberds, long axes and other ceremonial weapons, more and more people reacted. Several younger officials were so angry that their faces were pale.
However, this is a formal occasion, and even if you are dissatisfied, you cannot vent it at will.
The officials shook each other and gradually turned their attention to the two people standing in front of the official team.
A man standing on the left was more than nine feet tall and his body was as magnificent as a city wall. He stood in front of the generals and covered the figures of the four or five people behind him. His face was maroon red, his long and thick beard was swaying in the breeze. Seeing the armed servants lined up in an orderly manner, the giant man's eyes, which were originally half-open and half-closed, slightly opened, and his eyes were as sharp as lightning.
Behind him, a sound of thunder suddenly sounded: "Damn, I don't want to be with these Jiangdong people, come! Come!"
"Shut up! Don't be impulsive." The giant man suppressed his anger, glanced behind him, and said in a deep voice: "Look at the big ship, the lord and Zilong didn't say anything. Don't do anything wrong... and listen to the military advisor's orders!"
With his words, everyone's eyes were filled with a silence, and they focused on the young civil servant who was the first on the right side of the queue.
The young civil servant was taller than ordinary people, but because he stood beside the giant man, he looked a little thin; he had short beards under his jaw, and his sparse eyebrows and eyes were filled with calmness. Under the gaze of everyone, he did not speak, but swung the white feather fan in his hand one after another. The palms holding the feather fan were wide, the knuckles were strong, and the skin was a little rough and dull, which was obviously caused by long-term hard work. Such hands did not look like those grown on officials, but were like farmers who worked hard.
After waved the fan a few times, as the number of armed servants climbing to the dock gradually increased, the young civil servant gently lifted the feather fan, covered the lower half of his face, and called in a low voice: "Ji Chang."
A civil servant in black clothes and a pair of white eyebrows responded and said, "Ma Liang is here."
"In order to welcome the lord, martial law has been imposed in the public security city at this moment, right?"
“That’s right.”
Duke Xuande has always been deeply loved by the people of Jingzhou. The reason why Gong'an City was martial law was not for safety reasons; it was to avoid the people in the city flocking to watch when Duke Xuande landed, which was noisy and unfavorable.
The young civil servant said slowly: "Send an order immediately and lift the martial law."
"What?" Ma Liang raised his white eyebrows.
"You go now and send all the officials to inform the elders in the city separately, saying that the lord and his bride returned safely from Yangzhou and had arrived at the pier. The lord missed the people of Jingzhou very much and wanted everyone to see the new lady's style." The young civil servant waved his fan and said, "Go and do it as soon as possible!"
Ma Liang closed his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and immediately showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
"As for your order!" He replied loudly, then ran out of the dock and led his horse away.
The young civil servant waved his feather fan lightly and stood still without moving with a calm expression.
The size of the dock is limited after all. When the armed servants on several small boats finally landed, it was already over. The servants lined up on the dock, and then the three-masted ships docked. The servants quickly built thick wooden boards on the boat.
Mrs. Sun held the boat's side with her hands, looked at the neat servants below, and laughed proudly.
She tilted her head and grimaced at Liu Bei: "Husband, how about it? This is my army and honorary guard! My brother originally planned to send me a commander, but I rejected it. I will lead this army myself! Do you think they are very majestic?"
"Hehe." Liu Bei forced a smile.
Mrs. Sun is different from every woman around Liu Bei in the past. She is a girl full of vitality and even unscrupulously. This youthful vitality is sometimes the charm of women, which deeply attracts Liu Bei, but sometimes it will deeply anger Liu Bei... Just like now, Liu Bei is constantly warning himself to restrain himself.
Mrs. Sun didn't notice Liu Bei's intention at all. She walked back and forth several times on the side of the boat, repeatedly looking at the queue of the servants, and finally felt satisfied.
"Let's go!" she shouted: "Let's get off the boat!"
Get off the boat? Now get off the boat, surrounded by the subordinates of Wuhou, will you meet the subordinates of General Zuo's mansion? This situation made Liu Bei feel humiliated, making him feel that he didn't look like the governor of Jingzhou who brought his bride back to the capital, but instead seemed like he was arrested and imprisoned.
But he couldn't think of how to solve it, so he could only smile bitterly and delay. Since he couldn't do anything to the arrogant girl in front of him, he could not avoid this extremely embarrassing situation.
"Let's go." Mrs. Sun complained, "What are you doing while standing stupidly?"
"Let's go." Liu Bei said helplessly.
At this moment, a loud bang suddenly came from the Public Security City, as if many people were shouting together.
Mrs. Sun was startled. Liu Bei stopped suddenly, then turned over and climbed up the upper board to look out, his movements were so agile that they were completely inconsistent with his age.
Then, he couldn't help laughing, and he stretched out his hand to Mrs. Sun: "Madam, come and see! Those people from Jingzhou are here to welcome us!"
"What, it's very scary!" Mrs. Sun muttered unwillingly, climbing the second floor along the wooden ladder. The scene in front of her immediately stunned her.
She saw a tide of people pouring out from the north gate of Gong'an City; she saw countless men, women, young and old walking together, clamoring, slapping their hands, stomping their feet happily, and moving towards the dock along the road happily. She found that the eyes of countless people gradually bet on themselves standing side by side with her husband. Someone took the lead in cheering, and someone knelt down on the spot, causing a large area of ​​kneeling down around her.
Everyone cheered and shouted eagerly. All kinds of words finally formed a tsunami-like call: "Welcome to the lord! Welcome to the new lady!"
After all, Mrs. Sun is just a young woman. She has never experienced such a scene, and she never thought that she would become the center of attention of millions of people and be welcomed by millions of people. At this moment, she was both shy and happy, and felt so breathless. She turned to look at Liu Bei, thinking that her husband was such a hero supported by the people, she couldn't help but feel shocked.
